Great bold patterns on the Form Futura Tray by Maria Dahlgren

Vans – Hello Kitty Authentic

Always fun to see Hello Kitty on random stuff like a pair of Vans Authentics. Can’t argue with the polka dot lining though.

Ordinary Purposes – Wall Clock

I like the unrelentingness of this wall clock by Ordinary Purposes – it’s so precise and mechanical looking.

Modern Warfare 3 Trailer – The Vet and The n00b

Yes. I don’t get to play much xbox anymore now that we have a little noodle around the house. But I do intend to get a copy of MW3 sooner or later.

Kontextür – Tissue Box Cover

Kontextür made a cool cover for your tissue box – I dig! Clean and cute – I would love one of these.

The Kontextür Tissue Box Cover is an understated yet potent antidote to the potpourri of ubiquitous kitsch and oft-smudged metallic ones dominating the category. This thoughtful new design redirects the tissue box from its typical role, hidden away from view, and celebrates its function by turning it into an objet d’art. The iconic factory silhouette with its smokestack-like extension at the top serving as the opening for the tissues creates a strong visual interplay between the shapes, colors and materials.

Tableaux d’intimité by Anne-Laure Maison

In NYC, looking into your neighbors house or office windows is just a part of life. Anne-Laure Maison’s collages of these windows into a series of imaginary collages.

The Working Proof: Penelope Dullaghan – Reading Under Tree


New print release! Reading Under Tree by Penelope Dullaghan is perfect for these crisp fall days – changing leaf colors, scarves and gloves, favorite books, hanging out outside while it’s still warm enough to. There’s nothing better than sitting under a tree in the park and letting the sun warm your back while watching the world move around you, or while reading a book. Penelope’s print encapsulates that feeling perfectly.

15% of the sale of this print goes to the Farm Sanctuary. Penelope became a vegetarian five years ago because she wanted to do her own small part to help put an end to factory farms and cruelty to animals. She chose Farm Sanctuary for the awareness they are bringing to this issue.

Mini Cooper Coupe

Saw a few of these very nice Mini Coupe’s in the Halloween parade last week. Not sure how I feel about corporations backing the parade floats, but they were definitely cool cars.

Man, I need to draw more. Jim Lee gallery.

co-opt DESIGN – Print Maps of NYC Boroughs

There’s no shortage of city map designs these days, but I like these Print Maps of NYC Boroughs by co-opt DESIGN for the graphic quality they have. You feel the textures of the city and the contrast of the water.
